As filed

Compared to last week, no trend available on most classes and types of livestock due to limited comparable sales. Lean cows sold sharply higher on a light test, with slaughter bulls selling steady on a light test. Slaughter ewes sold sharply higher. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
